By the car stood Celine who greeted favonovel.com with a mesmerizing smile.
“So handsome,” Celine praised as Jasper walked over.
Jasper smiled and replied, “A woman’s beauty lies in favonovel.com features and favonovel.com aura, but it takes more than a man’s appearance to look handsome.”
“Is that you showing off how successful you are now?” Celine asked Jasper.
It was a beautiful sight to behold.
Under everyone’s inquisitive gaze and cameras flashing, Jasper knew better than to flirt with Celine here. So favonovel.com merely smiled and bent down to get in the car.
“Wuss,” Celine muttered and turned to get in as well.
The line of cars began to move and it broke past the crowd and made its way to Nasdaq Center.
Jasper’s hotel was only five minutes on foot away from Nasdaq Center, but Colossal Investments had already arranged cars for the occasion.
After all, this group of people was going to ring the Nasdaq Opening Bell. How could they simply just walk over?
It took a couple of minutes and the line of cars arrived.
“There’ll be a ceremony later and Nasdaq’s president, Franklin, will come out in a show of how much they value a Somerland enterprise. It’s more political than business, so don’t think too much about it. It’s just formality,” Celine whispered to Jasper.
Jasper nodded in understanding.
Just then, the car doors were opened and Jasper walked out of the car.
Nasdaq had given Sena a welcome of the highest regard, with a red carpet rolled a long distance from its entrance and western bodyguards standing on both sides of the carpet. The electronic display by the entrance was filled with words of welcome.
Alighting the car, Jasper looked up at the large screen above Nasdaq Exchange and realized that there was a red Somerland flag as well as Somerish words of welcome.
Jack saw it as well.
Engulfed in an aura of western capitalism, a red flag with five stars appeared on the electronic display of the Nasdaq Exchange on Wall Street. It was a memorable sight to behold.
“The times are changing,” Jasper exclaimed.
Jasper smiled. “And it’ll only change more in the future.”
The two shared a smile and stepped on the red carpet, entering the Exchange Center under the flashing lights of reporters.
The Exchange Center was in a frenzy.
While every new company going public on Nasdaq’s market would ring its opening bell, they were all treated differently. Sena’s was of a much higher caliber, for the host of the ceremony was Nasdaq’s president, a seventy-year-old man called Franklin.
“Welcome to the United States, to Wall Street, and to Nasdaq, young man from the ancient Somerland.” Franklin’s words were flowery and favonovel.com smiled as favonovel.com shook Jasper’s hand.
Jasper smiled softly and replied courteously, “Thank you for the kind welcome, President Franklin. I’m sure I’ll achieve what I want here.”
Franklin clapped Jasper’s shoulder affectionately and spoke, “Miracles happen all the time here. I’m sure you’ll achieve what you want.”
“There has been a lot of news about you these days. I would’ve bought some of Sena’s shares as well if not for my job not allowing me to participate in share trading,” Franklin joked.
